Okay, I stayed up until well past dawn and I have never discussed Devil May Cry in such terrifying detail. levade now knows more about the fandom than I ever thought she would.

Unfortunately, I think my ability to construct proper meta is disintegrating.

you spelled this post correctly. i give it an a+ for proper spelling.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

Then I'm not going to tell you how long it took me to write it.

[arcesso.livejournal.com]

SUCK HER INTO OUR FANDOM. DO IT.

[unicorn]

I've already written your fandom porn. Shut up.

[arcesso.livejournal.com]

THEN YOU'RE WELL ON YOUR WAY~♥

[unicorn]

No, really, I probably know more meta about this series than you do at this point.

[arcesso.livejournal.com]

If only because I'm only on mission 13 of 4, right now.

[unicorn]

I forgot to ask who this Kyrie girl was, but if you want hours of series mainstay character introspection? I'm your proverbial man.

[arcesso.livejournal.com]

Kyrie is just a singer in a church who Nero's in love with. ....From what I know. So far. XD; BUT SHE'S SUCKED INSIDE SPARDA-STATUE, SO, I'M PRETTY SURE NO CHARACTER REVELATIONS ARE COMING?

[unicorn]

So they put her in the statue just as a plot device to make Nero mad?

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

... Yes. Except that was their story goal was also to upset and distract and make Nero mad, I think!

[unicorn]

Hooray. Someday you too can become an angry insecure cocky bitch, Nero, because of the loving support of those you love.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

He has a love interest that genuinely cares for him, though! It makes him a better person! HIS CONFIDENCE IS REAL, I THINK.

[unicorn]

Well, AT LEAST HE'LL BE BETTER THAN DANTE.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

NOT HARD.

[arcesso.livejournal.com]

Pretty much! To lure Nero in so HE could get sucked up and so they could get Yamato from him!

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

You actually have Bryce to thank for that. He's got a literally photographic memory when it comes to these games, so he's able to put together really subtle character insights and tell me them--a lot of the meta I put you through is the result of a year of discussing.

The problem is, I don't know how much of the meta we've made up, at this point, but NONE OF It CONTRADICTS CANON, so.

[unicorn]

IT'S ALL GOOD. Most of what I know about KH is probably extrapolated anyway.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

She did. DID YOU SEE IT?! IT IS GOOD.

[arcesso.livejournal.com]

...UM. SHOULD I CLICK THAT WITH WHERE I AM IN THE GAME?

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

S'NOT SPOILERY.

[arcesso.livejournal.com]

*READ* YOU ARE RIGHT.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

TOLD YOU!

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

I DON'T THINK I CAN. SHE DOESN'T LIKE DANTE. DMC IS PRETTY FUCKING PAINFUL IF YOU DON'T LIKE DANTE.

[arcesso.livejournal.com]

...DUDE. WHO CAN DISLIKE DANTE. HOW DO YOU EVEN DO THAT. HE IS PRETTY FAIL, YES, BUT IT IS FUNNY.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

DANTE IS AN OBNOXIOUS, SUICIDAL, COMPLETELY SELF-LOATHING SON A BITCH WHO'D LITERALLY RATHER CUT OFF A LIMB THAT ADMIT THAT HE IS NOT AN ASSHOLE. HE'S A SHOWOFF JERK WHO IS SO POWERFUL AT THIS POINT THAT NOTHING CAN TOUCH HIM AND HE'S NOT AFRAID TO LET EVERYONE HE MEETS KNOW IT, BECAUSE OF SOME FUCKED UP SELF-ESTEEM ISSUES PROBABLY HAVING TO DO WITH HIS DEAD MOMMY.

Really, I don't see what anyone would find obnoxious about the guy.

[arcesso.livejournal.com]

Seriously, what's to dislike? He's such a sweetheart. ♥

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

Well, he is, but... That is very, very deep down.

[arcesso.livejournal.com]

Very. Very. Deep down.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

Exactly. Dante acts how he does partially in order to get the "god, you are an obnoxious asshole" reaction. He'd be surprised if people didn't find him annoying. FANGIRLS WOULD STARTLE AND ALARM HIM.

[arcesso.livejournal.com]

ON PURPOSE? RETARD. WHY WOULD HE WANT TO HEAR THAT HE'S AN ASSHOLE ALL THE TIME.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

"... WHO'D LITERALLY RATHER CUT OFF A LIMB THAT ADMIT THAT HE IS NOT AN ASSHOLE ... BECAUSE OF SOME FUCKED UP SELF-ESTEEM ISSUES PROBABLY HAVING TO DO WITH HIS DEAD MOMMY ..."

Also, it's a predictable and easily controlled reaction.

[arcesso.livejournal.com]

Point taken! I can understand the appeal, then.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

Poor Dante. He is so very sad.

[arcesso.livejournal.com]

Let me try and sum up all the pity I can find. Oh wait...

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

You play Lady. This means that your reserves of pity for Dante are about this big: --------> .

[arcesso.livejournal.com]

Depends. The period or the dashes?

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

The dashes are just part of the arrow pointing at your appalling lack of pity.

[arcesso.livejournal.com]

Hey, don't look at me. You got mad when I pitied you.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

Dude.

Dante: Fine, I will explain what really happened to Vergil.
Lady: Oh my God, you are so sad and kind of pathetic and your life sucks. I feel so bad for you!

How did you expect Dante to respond?

[arcesso.livejournal.com]

...THAT IS NOT AN ACCURATE PARAPHRASING.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

Funny, that's how Dante heard it.

HOW WOULD YOU PUT IT.

[arcesso.livejournal.com]

Dante: YEAH SO I ACTUALLY KILLED MY BROTHER A LOT MORE RECENTLY THAN YOU THOUGHT.
Lady: WOW THAT FUCKING SUCKS I'M REALLY SORRY. D= I KNOW HOW BAD THAT SUCKS AND I FEEL BAD THAT YOU HAD TO GO THROUGH IT AGAIN.

That is how Lady would have put it.

[rocknload.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well, Dante doesn't like being made to feel pathetic!

[arcesso.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well, it wasn't like she had some diabolical plot to emasculate him. It just sort of happened.
